Just steps from downtown Highland Park's shops, restaurants, library, train, and close to Lake Michigan, Thornycote is a home where location and history come together beautifully. Designed in 1901 by renowned architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, this English Arts and Crafts residence is a remarkable expression of craftsmanship, proportion, and grace. Set on more than an acre of lush, landscaped grounds, Thornycote offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining connected to everything that makes Highland Park special. A handsome foyer sets the tone, introducing the home's elegant proportions, exceptional woodwork, and remarkable architectural integrity. Throughout, Shaw's thoughtful design is evident in the details, from the formal living room anchored by a commanding wood-burning fireplace
